Task Two Planning: NEW ANIMAL DISCOVERY!

Over the next two weeks you are Deadly 60 explorers! You are reporting on a new deadly species which you are going to invent!

Deadly 60 gives information about a deadly creature in the form of a video - it is like a report on that animal. It provides the audience with a wealth of facts about

different deadly creatures around the world. Watch some of BBC’s Deadly 60 on iPlayer to get a feel for the style of the show:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b00t2kc7/deadly-60 NEW DEADLY DISCOVERY! This week you are going to be designing/creating your

own deadly animal! You have a choice with how your final piece of work is presented:

1) There is a range of Deadly 60 books available. Option 1 is creating your own

page of a Deadly 60 book all about your chosen animal. This can be written,

a PowerPoint or a Word document.

2) Alternatively, for the budding presenters in you, you may choose to write

your own ‘script’ for a Deadly 60 video and create your own Deadly 60 style programme on your chosen animal! This option is a challenge. You will need to be independent in your learning, watching a range of Deadly 60 clips to

get an idea of how to structure your own!

Now you have researched some deadly animals and have an idea of what makes them so deadly, you will have your own ideas of what makes an animal frightening!

Today I would like you to design your own deadly animal and tell me all about it!

This is planning so bullet points and notes are perfect. Planning can be presented in

whatever style works for you – I like post it notes and big paper!

Tasks: Draw a labelled diagram of your deadly

species. What does it look like? What are its

key features?

Give it a name – make it sound deadly, not cute!

Write key information about your new species: habitat, diet, size, speed etc.

Note: Make sure your animal is adapted to live in your chosen climate!

Wednesday

Drafting/Editing Write your own non-chronological report (fact file) which could be included in a Deadly 60 book about your newly-found species. Uploaded in This Week’s Learning

is a PowerPoint to guide you through and give you some ideas.

If you have chosen to create your own episode of Deadly 60, use this time to write your script. What are you going to say about the animal? How will you present it?

Thursday

Poetry challenge 1 (See Websites 3 and 4 for poetry writing top tips! Also see the uploaded poetry toolbox in this week’s learning for ideas of poetic devices to try

and include!)

The vivid subjects of the animal kingdom provide a striking starting point for poetry! Read Pie Corbett’s ‘Recipe to make a wolf’ poem uploaded in our Home Learning

section. With a deadly animal of your choice (or your own design!), create your own ‘Recipe to make a_________’ poem following the same structure as Pie Corbett.

Structure suggestion (the number of stanzas (verses) will depend on the animal you choose and features you wish to focus on):

Take

the_____________________,

the ____________________

and ___________________

for her (insert feature here: claws/eyes/horn/fur/ears

etc).

Poetry is personal and very individual. If you are inspired to take a different direction then go for it! This is the beauty of poetry!

Friday

Spelling test

Poetry challenge 2

I love Pie Corbett’s ‘Animal Riddle Acrostic’. Notice how the animal name is revealed down the middle and each of the lines tells you something about the animals: what is like, how it moves, how it eats!

Create your own for a deadly animal of your choice. Notice how the animal name is

hidden. Each line should give a clue about the animal to help people guess what it is. Don’t over think the structure or format: no rules on this one Year 5!

get spotting! What can you see near you? Our gardens, countryside and even towns and cities, are

full of amazing birds. From acrobatic blue tits and charismatic robins to noisy magpies and cheeky

gulls - birds are our most visible wild friends and no matter where you are, birds and their unique

behaviours make for fascinating viewing! Find a comfy spot to perch at home looking out of your

window over your garden, neighbouring park or even just the trees in your street and see what

you can spot!

Essentials

Take the time to do something kind for someone you love!

How can I improve my writing? In Year 5, ensure you check the following things in your writing. Use this list to edit and improve

your work.

Non-negotiables when writing

1. I have thought carefully about the needs of the reader (my audience) at all times; my writing is interesting to read and fits the purpose.

Think carefully about the following questions: o Who is my audience? o What is the purpose of my writing?

2. If appropriate (fiction), I have descried settings and characters using expanded noun phrases.

3. If appropriate (non- fiction), I have used organisational features to help structure the text and guide the reader such as subheadings and bullet points.

4. I have used a range of adverbs and adverbial phrases (How? When? Where? How often?) to add detail to my writing.

5. I have edited my writing carefully, ensuring I have used tenses consistently and correctly.

6. I have proof read for punctuation errors.

7. I have used commas between main and subordinate clauses.

8. I am now experimenting with a wider range of punctuation: o Brackets, dashes or commas to indicate parenthesis () - - , ,

o Semi-colons ; o Dashes -

Hyphens (e.g. old-fashioned)

Please ensure children are supervised whilst watching any of the

suggested video clips online.
